Objective: mental pain is a psychological experience, including negative self-evaluation; therefore, it should be measured by self-report tools. The aim of the present study was to determine factor structure and psychometric properties of Mental Pain Scale.Method: this was correlational study and its statistic population consisted all students of the University of Razi Kermanshah. The sample included 300 of these students selected via multi-stage random cluster sampling method. The data was analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis by SPSS-22 and AMOS-21 software.Result: the results showed a significant positive correlation among components of mental pain, anxiety, depression, and negative cognitive emotional regulation strategies (P≥0.001). Also, a significant positive correlation was found among components of mental pain and self-compassion (P≥0.001). The results of the exploratory factor analysis identified 6 factors, which in total, explained 66.40% of the variance in mental pain. 44 items in 6 factors were validated by confirmatory factor analysis. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.966 for the whole MPS, 0.925 for emptiness, 0.893 for emotional flooding, 0.877 for loss of control, 0.872 for irreversibility, 0.869 for self-estrangement, and 0.617 for freezing.Conclusion: Persian version of Mental Pain Scale has acceptable psychometric properties among academic students and can be used as a valid tool in psychological research.

Objective: Anxiety measurement tools have been developed for major health-threatening diseases such as SARS and MERS. There is no specific measurement tool for measuring the anxiety caused by Corona. The purpose of this study was to validate the Corona-related Anxiety Scale in the Iranian sample. Method: The research method was a descriptive correlational.308 individuals participated in the study through online recall. An 18-item Corona-related anxiety inventory was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using Guttman's λ2 and Cronbach's alpha internal consistency method. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using Lisrel-8.8 software was used to evaluate the tool construct validity. To standardize the raw scores, they were converted to standard T scores and percentile rank using Jmetrik-4.1.1 software and were prepared as normative tables. Findings: The Guttman's λ2 value for the whole questionnaire was obtained as (λ = 0.922), Cronbach's alpha coefficient for psychological symptoms as (α = 0.879), physical symptoms as (α = 0.861), and for the whole questionnaire as (α= 0.919). The data of this research fit the two-factor model properly. Standard scores tables were plotted, and the range of scores of the questionnaire factors and total score of Corona-related anxiety severity was divided into three domains: mild, moderate, and severe. Conclusion: Corona-related anxiety inventory has good validity in preliminary validation and can be used as a valid and scientific tool for measuring Corona-related anxiety.

Objective: Quality of life compared to health or illness has a special position for policymakers and health-care specialists. The goal of this study was to evaluate the expanded model of health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease. Method: This is a descriptive correlational study that is based on structural equation modeling. The statistical population includes all patients with coronary artery disease who referred to Tehran and Karaj medical centers and received a diagnosis by a specialist. 650 persons were selected by available sampling method and responded to Illness Perception Questionnaire, Quality of Life Questionnaire, Self-Care of Heart Failure Index, Emotional Well-being Scale, Psychological Well-being Questionnaire of Reef, Social Well-being Questionnaire of Keyesand Seattle Angina Questionnaire. Findings: The results of this study showed that the developed model of Wilson has a good fit. That is, by adding self-management and psychological, social, and emotional well-being, this model can be adopted to explain the quality of life. However, compared to the original model of well-being indices, due to the multidimensionality and the multiple relationships, it should be considered as a comprehensive well-being construct. Self-management can also explain comprehensive well-being. Conclusion: Self-management and positive indicators of well-being can have a special role in the process of health-related quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease.
